Leo Tolstoy once said, “The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.” Ask any PlayStation gamer who missed out on the Call of Duty: Black Ops double XP weekend a few weeks ago, and they’ll tell you: Leo knew what he was talking about. While other platforms soaked up the extra experience points, PS3 gamers had to hang in there while PlayStation put everything in order behind the scenes. In cases like that, patience isn’t a virtue — patience is a pain in the butt.
As the double-XP date loomed nearer, more and more PlayStation gamers wondered if they’d be able to take part in the festivities, and Treyarch – developer of Black Ops – swore to fans that they would not be forgotten. This weekend, they’re quickly making good on that promise, with a double-XP period that lasts from this Friday, May 20th at 10am all the way through the weekend and beyond – the good stuff keeps coming until 10am on Tuesday the 24th. What’s more, that’s going to be even sweeter thanks to a Nuketown 24/7 playlist that’s being added just for the event. Nuketown is my favorite map because it’s small and chaotic – and the close confines often result in high kill counts, which can really push you to the next level of Prestige in a hurry during a bonus XP weekend. It’s a fast, intense map – but don’t let that stop you from uncovering some of Nuketown’s hidden secrets.
So if the two most powerful warriors are patience and time…well, you’ve been patient, and it took some time. This weekend, enjoy being the warrior.

Thank you i have already prestige in 1 day gonna prestige again before end of week. Except for campers but my method is ‘ to kill a camper you must be a camper
hello, i was woundering if you guys could posibly just leave nuketown 24/7 for psn users. alot of people can level but at somepoint we will stop playing it and when we feel like nuketown we can play the map and if not then next double xp you should add a firing range 24/7
@ekweume_era: thats y u should buy a disc plus how could it got erased ,,, and it should be in your downloads just download again
WHEN IS THE PSN STORE GONNA BE FIXED?

Bad company 2 is not realer than Black Ops, if you say it is your wilding
all i can say is thanks for bringing everything back online in a timely manner and making it worth my time to prestige again with the double xp. me and my friends had a 40 game win streake the other day and went from lvl 3 to 40 in about 4hours of time.
We’re being duped it shows double xp on the screen and it doesn’t give us the points on the scoreboard or the profile….. WTH.. Treyarch.. Stop playing Games with Our emotions…LoL
COD MW2 server is still incredibly glitchy. I get dropped every few games and my internet connection is excellent. At one point this evening, it said the Activision server was unable to connect. server booting kept happening before the shutdown. Will this get fixed sometime soon or is it just not a priority & I have to deal?
thanks dan for the double XP, btw will the next map pack be free to us, btw haters ganna hate
Pricing has not been announced for the next map pack, but I have no reason to believe that the price will be free.
